My Word! Reader - Are Squirrels Smart, or What?

My Word! Reader - Are Squirrels Smart, or What? is a ground-breaking app for the iPad based on sound educational and literacy theory that is designed to improve literacy skills in underachieving students. This app will be an essential tool for literacy learning for education and home markets. Simple to use, but sophisticated in design, it incorporates word analysis, phonics, writing skills, word recognition, comprehension and spelling in a series of dynamic, engaging, and delightful “word games” that are rooted in the high-interest, but easy-to-read story, Are Squirrels Smart, or What?

“Are Squirrels Smart, or What? is the third in the My Word! Reader series. Word games in this app include practice with rhyming words; short and long vowel sounds; spelling; writing exercises; vocabulary building. As students engage in the word games, they practice and review word analysis skills, thus building competence in learning the mysteries of decoding new words.

“Are Squirrels Smart, or What? is designed to empower students who have been habitually defeated by their reading disabilities. It gives them the means and the resources to help themselves overcome the gaps in their learning and take the next steps toward reading success,” said Dr. Selma Wassermann, Professor Emerita at Simon Fraser University.
